Is there a setup file i could send you, and if so how do i post it, just drag and drop??

Hi Doug,

That's a good suggestion.

I don't know which Screen you are using but bottom right of the 1024 set shows the Profile you are using. Locate the .xml file <your profile> .xml (typically Mach3Mill.xml) in the Mach3 folder - copy it to the desktop, rename the copy to a unique name (wl888.xml would be good) then using the Additional Options (at the bottom of the reply pane) attach it to your reply.

I will check you settings and hopefully be able to suggest a solution.

Ok, that was the name, but as you will see there are the extra buttons i've added, but as i mentioned before, i also tried it on 1024
file attached.
Meanwhile i will continue searching at this end.
again , thanks for the quick support.

Hi Doug,

The only thing I can see (without testing it on a machine) is that you have Output#1 configured as Spindle. This may be causing a conflict with the M10P1/M11P1 commands. Try using a different Output# for one or the other and see if that resolves the problem. Also uncheck Use WatchDogs (Config / General Config).

 Ok...I think I have it now...
A combination of errors...

1. Output 1 was set as active low.(ticked)
2. M10P1 and M11P1 were inverted in the program.
3. End result was that pin 9 Output 1 was always on.

have now set Output 1 to active High (crossed) and swapped the M codes around.

5 days to find this. Will test it some more tomorrow morning (now 10:50pm), but i think thats it.

that's straight cutting, next step is to figure PWM for Grey Scale engraving.

Thanks Tweekie

Pleased you got it sorted Doug. 
Just shows how observant I am - didn't notice M10 / M11 were transposed.

LOL.. ....I figured it had to be something basic, I was just too close to the problem to see it, but talking it out with You moved my focus.

Also I think You corrected some other errors I had along the way.

Anyway....maybe these posts will help someone else with tunnel vision. 

Thanks

Hi All
Now that's sorted, I am moving on to the connection cable, this is still a work in progress. My main concern is at the bottom of the listing where I propose to join wires together to increase current capacity, not being a able to see the wires (sealed cable) I am wondering if anyone have seen this done (successfully) before or is  it a really bad idea.
I am also looking at using a heavy USB cable, the ones with larger power wires, for the Laser power supply. These cables are both shielded. From a previous post I noted that shield is connected at controller end only.
All Limit wiring will also be via USB cables.
Attached file.

Thanks in advance
Doug

 :-\OK...Trash the above, had another look at it after some sleep....total dribble..please disregard.
